EbonyQueen001:
Others have actually done Justice to the story.
Nothing much left to say.


I just have a question. How is it possible for a man to hide the identity of his children from a full village and yet attain such respectable position? Does it mean that even his aged friend is unaware of his relationship with mama Ezinne? Ok, they ( the children) did not grow up in Amaife, yet, they were easily integrated into the community. One is even married and the wife does not know her parents in law or her father in law for that matter? Bathelomew, I understand, may have come in into the community as a missionary or a traveling pastor. Sofiri, I doubt can do such especially as the writer already painted him as being semi saint and already known as Bathelomew's brother.

Souloho19, pls explain better on this.

Am begining to suspect that butcher at the market square..whats his name again?..Benedict...........mehn i can so feel it am using "gods eyes" (literally)...

Souloho19 Why am i the only one suspecting the butcher?

MY CRAZY THEORY

"Benedict was seen as the youth leader, an
unofficial title he carried because he had
that leadership quality:in this case:
strength, popularity and a penchant for
violence.
He owned an abattoir in the market where
he slaughtered and sold beef."


"He had always liked Chinaza and even
though she had turned down his
advances, he had always given her extra
chunks of beef whenever she passed by
the slaughterhouse."


"Osi hurried out. He ran through the path,
ran past the market square and didn't stop
until he got to the house." i think thats where OSI lost the letter


MEHN ... Just thinking outa the box
(1) Benedict had a thing for Chinaza(other girls as well),he might have been an illitrate,and might have ask the EUropean to help him write the Letters(not more than one) thus the resemblance in the writting,
(2) i saw a post stating that one of the 'De' is behind the attack. Am not sure any of them have the agility to run( thats when Osi was chasing him)
(3) am not sure its Paul "The devil walked round the market square,
enjoying the clear sky and the cool breeze.
His appetite had been satisfied
temporarily." this extract was before Amara and Oluchi went to fetch Paul.... Can he be at the park and still in the market? That i doubt
(4)"Ezinne...its me, I left your mother a little bit at the market and she said I should deliver something" She recognized the voice immediately. Everybody knew that voice, or almost everybody at least. " Ezinne's mum went to the market,Ezinne opens the door because a messages came from her mum which is in the market the messenger by the door is Popular,Benedict comes to mind;NOT that he is the only popular person...but the writer made me believe his the popular in the market,of which i believe he is the only Butcher(since none other is stated),if there is another butcher,when the prime suspect(Okudili) was seen by the stream the youth went for his head,"None of them had any weapon apart from Benedict who had been on butchering duty and thus held a dangerous machete. It didn't matter though.......... Only Benedict was carrying a weapon that wont be possible if there were other butcher in the market square
(5) Benedict went there in search of the letter because if the letter was found and linked to who "wrote" (Steve) ,he(Steve) would point out to who he wrote it for (Benedict)
(6) when Steve held Osi,i believe he let him go because Osi might pin it(devil) on him
(7) there is no scene Okudili acted as the Devil,other than him running rather than defending himself
( when Osi was telling the crowd (rather MOB) about the holy communiun to be held at Night,when Steve was about to be mobbed.......i was made to believe Benedict was there also,since he was leading the mob

(9) Steve might just be writng down the victims name for his book...
Somebody please tell me am wrong,those theory dosnt even make sense to me......

And again,where does pastor Bethelomeow sleeps? :::that might put him on my black list(suspect list)

marvwhite:
wow i never saw this coming.

I'd like to use this medium to apologise to BENEDICT (the butcher) for acusing him of the murder of the victims.if i had been a judge,people(like Benedict) would be in prison,for the crime they didnt comit just because some quack lawyers(which i may belong to) who would give quack proofs (although,my proofs aint quack),

Some persons pointed out pastor Bathelomeow being the Devil,but since they have no proof,people (like myself) would never believe.


I remember someone stating that "the writer can pin the crime on more than one character" ,but pastor Bethelomeow? (sighs)...
That was shocking


Souloho19 well done....
